Close-up photo of a bearded man smiling broadly, seated amid yellow and white flower garlands and green leaves. He wears an ornate gold crown with a crescent moon ornament over a red turban, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and layered heavy gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant over a red garment, plus white jasmine garlands. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair under the turban, a crown, and ornate gold necklaces with a red garment fit the candidate's presentation, so the figure is labelled as the probable Swamiji seated in person.
